What did our critic think of THEORY OF RELATIVITY at UALR Haislip Theatre?

Hello, my name is Shelby Lewis, and I am so excited to be a part of the Broadway World Student Blogger Program for the Spring season! I’m currently in my second semester of my freshman year at Emerson College majoring in Theater Education.

One creative outlet outshined the rest— musical theater— and I began to really dive into theater in middle school and high school. I participated in my school’s choir and musicals and even helped out in the costume department. It was no surprise that I chose to go to college for theater because it was what I was truly passionate about. After my first semester, however, I was not feeling that same passion. I enjoyed my classes but it was all theater all the time and the new element of having my theater work graded added a level of stress that was not there before.

Recently, I've had to step back from theater which was fine until I went to see a show. Faced with a sense of absence, I reflected a bit and remembered how theater isn't just experienced on a stage.

This week from 11/14 to 11/16 catch a reunion of the original cast of Grand Hotel at 54 Below. It’s truly incredible hearing the score sung through in its entirety.
